[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markwilt:
Android n00b here, with a (quite possibly) bricked myTouch 3G (3.5-jack), seeking advice from those who truly know...

Initial bootloader info:

+-----------------------------------------+

| Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-Off G |

| HBoot-1.33.0013 (SAP*****) |

| CPLD-13 |

| Radio-2.22.23.02 |

| Oct 21 2009 22:33:27 |

+-----------------------------------------+

Wanted to root/mod the phone, so after a little research decided to go w/ CM6.1 (w/ boot-cm_2635.9_ds_32b-oc-uv-xtra-ram-fp-120810.zip to fix "green tint" problem [read somewhere that this particular fone is 32B, even though the bootloader screen sez 32A])

No problems w/ all that, clipping along w/ clockworkmod recovery, custom splash screen, loaded w/ apps (& app2sd to offload most of that to SD). But somewhere along the way I thought, "Can I pimp this little old thing out any more?"

So, I did as Sandeep attempted ( http://sandeep.wordpress.com/2010/1...iospl-for-htc-magic-mytouch-3g-from-scratch/ )...flashed the spl to Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010 (via recovery) so I could flash SPL 1.33.0013d & radio 2.22.28.25 (via fastboot) & loaded update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S. Things went well enough, except for some minor issues w/ CM6.1+2708, so I dropped back to SPL 1.33.0013 & radio 2.22.23.02, restored back to CM6.1.0-DS & was sitting happy again.

Then I started to suffer a case of the stoopids, and had a look at this: (ROM)CM7.1(2.3.7)Sapphire32a(NR-6.35.16.19)Sept 30(Unofficial) [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011384 ], forgetting that my fone's not really a 32A.

Now's when I went sub-moronic and tried to flash spl 1.76.2007 & radio 6.35.16.19 via recovery's install update.zip. I've since read that it's preferable to attempt such actions via "fastboot flash". And I now find myself w/ a fone that shows the initial splash screen, and goes no farther. No combination of key caresses take it to the bootloader or recovery routines. And, of course, it's not accessible via fastboot/adb.

Fully prepared to suffer the derisive laughter & denigrating putdowns (up to a point), I'd like to know if there's anything short of jtag'ing that can get me at least to the bootloader screen so I can restore/rebuild.

If I have to jtag to resurrect this particular phone, is there someone in my area (look at my profile) that can help w/ this?

Thanx in advance, and let the *flaming* begin....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Its....... *drumroll* a brick. And (unless someone is nice enough to do it for free) jtag would cost more than the phone is worth.

[Xperia Arc General] gogiasiddhartha:
Hello everybody,

I have a carrier unlocked Xperia Arc. I had flashed .58 firmware, which I had rooted with Zegrush method (bootloader is locked). It was working fine for a few days, then suddenly the 3G stopped working. I am still getting the EDGE (2G) data transfer.

Since my SIM when inserted into my friends Samsung i9003 was giving a good 3G connection and also my friends SIM when inserted into my Xperia Arc was unable to connect through 3G, I thought that the fault was in my Xperia Arc only.

I have

1) Checked APN settings, they are fine. Downloaded and installed them again to be doubly sure.

2) Did a soft reset

3) Did a hard reset

4) Used repair through PC companion

5) flashed .62 firmware with accompanying baseband

6) flashed .42 firmware with accompanying baseband

7) checked network mode. Its WCDMA(preferred)/GSM. On switching to WCDMA, the 3G connection works for a few minutes and then the whole connection drops.

8) I read in some discussion boards that a similar problem arises if the SIM card lock is used but I am not using it.

Is it a hardware defect? Should I unlock the bootloader and flash one of the custom ROMS?

Any other suggestions?

Please help.

Thanking in advance.
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Maybe your carrier have a slow-down after using too much data traffic?

And post in the correct section.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koodiifin:
If you find a zip for either you can try flashing from x recovery. I flashed CWM using xrecovery but don't remember what version.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
No, you would need the usb to unlock the bootloader and flash the fxp kernel for the ICS rom to work.
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Greetings everyone...

As you might know: I'm the tech freak guy who compiled the GlibC and some Linux applications for HTC Desire.

As I have published my findings, I've recieved messages about how I'm compiling the applications given the source code. I try to help about this, but sadly I think half of what I say is not understandable without a proper guide. :) Ergo, this thread will suply this!

When?

Well, soon; because I'm still preparing it.

What will it include?

It'll be a

basic guide

about how to compile applications with your toolchain (Here is the guide about how to make a toolchain of yourself: How to make a toolchain). I'm planning to show it with GlibC compilation.

What's the extend of this help?

Frankly, compiling from the source sometimes can be quite messy and most of the time, a compilation/configuration line is never same with different applications. However, since most sources come with either Autotools or with a Makefile, most of the times, all you need is to change a few command line variable with a proper value.

I'm not planning to show you the code changes or "patchworks" they might be necessary, because this is quite application specific thing and I'm not an expert about this either.

I'm just going to show you a guide about the compilation process.

What's the catch / scum of this help?

There is no catch in it. I just want to help curious nerdy guys like me (:)), so that we can learn from each other; or maybe improve each others work! I learned a lot from guys here, and I want to help to this community as much as I can as well.
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
< Reserved for other stuff for guide, like hints.. >
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Maybe also include a precompiled toolchain for download? ;)
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Can do that, but first need to compile a "static" toolchain for this. Actually, this seems like a good idea :)

Let me work on this next :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Nice...big thx...i love such guide´s :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Tried that: The output is huge, and even though the toolchain works without any need to any library, it still needs the libraries to be compiled in order to compile the other binaries - makes sense, since you need the libraries to compile against them anyway :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
So isn't it possible to package your toolchain which contains gcc, initial glibc and libraries, so that we can download and use them right away? It would save a lot of time and would be a far better option than the ndk.
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
That's possible, but only if you're also using Ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 and a 64-bit machine :)

For some reason - guess library version differences - toolchains done in 11.10 was not working at 10.04; so I had to redo it, for instance. This technique you say might or might not work - there is no guarantee in it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ah well.. I'm using a 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10 on a 64 bit machine. Anyway I have the toolchain I compiled on this one with your help..But if you remember I took a couple of days to get it done, even when I had your excellent help..Newcomers might find it difficult I guess. But if it werent for your toolchain compilation guide in the glibc thread, it'd have been next to impossible!
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Thanks :) Actually, it took me 3 days to make a bootstrap GCC and 8 days to make a Stage 1 GCC when I first began this :) I could never compile GlibC with those, because of the messy patches needed :)

I'm never claiming the process to be easy; but believe me: making a toolchain is the most irritating part. Most of the other programs do compile and run just fine, once their dependencies met. Only "very massive projects" like Xorg gives headaches time to time: because normal users do never try to compile those stuff from the source; and because of that, the developers don't try to make the process error-free.

Still, "grep" and knowledge of C makes wonders time to time :)
[Desire Android Development] xdej:

[Motorola Triumph] maxpower17:
Is anyone interested in buying my Triumph and taking over my $25/month plan. I'm looking to get $340 for everything listed below.

What you get:

Motorola Triumph (gently used and in excellent condition)

The original box and accessories

A clear/smoke rocketfish case from Best Buy

A 32gb memory card

I will go online and change the name and the address on the account to yours and give you the login (phone number) and password to take over the account. This is the $25/month plan that is no longer offered anymore (new customers are forced to the $35 plan). It includes 300 minutes per month and unlimited text and data. I am not porting the number out (I use google voice)... you can keep it and change it if you wish.

The account currently paid through 2/2/12. In addition, there is a $35 top up credit in the account which will pay for all of February and part of March. So, this phone effectively comes with 2 1/2 months of free service.

The $25/month plan is a huge plus in this package as it saves you $10/month and is no longer offered.

If you are interested, send me a pm and we can work out the details. I will go to ebay or craigslist if I don't get any offers soon.

Thanks,

mp

[Motorola Triumph] Jargin:
This is awesome. I'm on the $25 plan now but when I switch to the Evo V I'll try it.

Currently the codes are:

$35 plan == COS305

$45 plan == COS306

$55 plan == COS307

I'll post an update on 5/31 if it works:)
[Motorola Triumph] mllk:
any update?
[Motorola Triumph] Jargin:
Finally got a shipping confirm, I'll have an update on the 6th.
[Motorola Triumph] Jargin:
Well it loaded the $25 plan instead of the $35 but then when I went to confirm the plan I got this error.

Not sure if this is because I now have the Evo V and it's a newer phone or they corrected the system. I will try and reactive my Triumph tomorrow to see if that phone can be activated with a $25 plan.
[Motorola Triumph] mllk:
Thanks for the update
[Motorola Triumph] jedgell233:
So the plans are code based? Interesting. It'd be nice to get the 40 dollar plan.
[Motorola Triumph] Cataulin:

Oh yea it worked, instead of selecting change plan now, use change plan at end of cycle.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
With my old Atrix, you could easily scratch off the ugly ATT logo on the back cover.

Has anyone dared/attempted to scratch off or rub off the Samsung logo on the back battery cover? I know that its embossed in, but would be nice to remove the white paint.

Anyone brave enough? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I had the atrix for 31 days, hated it but the logos were very easy to scratch off, the HD on under the camera actually came off by itself but you should be able to remove the Samsung logo by using and acidic substance with a dish cloth. A good substance I could think of is goo gone which is used for getting everything from sticker residue off the table to crayon on the wall, you can get it at any hardware store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
I'm big on leaving my devices looking like they are brand new out of the box, so I cringe at a post like this! :eek:

But if you really want to do this, I recommend getting an extra back cover to mess with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I agree with Raibyn, both that I like the way that the Samsung logo is as it doesn't make the device look as "plain" and you should look into getting another cover. I'm just ready for people to start making custon covers like carbon fiber of soft touch plastic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
I forget where I saw it, but apparently sugar cubes are great for removing logos without leaving scratches. Just rub the corner of the cube against what you are trying to remove like an eraser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Interesting. I wonder if that actually works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tguellich:
I had never once scratched or harmed any phone I own. New Years Eve this year changed that. She fell out of my pocket into the gravel and got walked on. The screen protector and lots of luck saved the front. The back for the extended battery got all scratched up. You inspired me to experiment. The original battery cover fits fine over the extended battery so that is what I am using now. I just shot a coat of textured paint over the extended (scratched) back. I will post pics when it is dry and installed but it looks promising. Plus it adds a great grippy texture for my big chubby hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:
id wait to see if your 100% on keeping the phone and 100% on not trading it in for another galaxy nexus before doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tguellich:
Well, the back was all scratched anyway and they are only $5. Besides, there is no way this phone is going back, I love it! The pic on the left has the extended battery installed with the original back on the phone and the extended back painted. The right pic is the extended back on the phone with the original back next to it. I love it, feels like fine grit sandpaper. It's a nice feel in your palm.

[Kindle Fire General] Matt V:
I tried the new partition utility found in this section and I got an error from the sdcard portion, so it moved on to partitioning data but all it did was freeze and eventually I was stuck so I unplugged it. I managed to get back to TWRP and install the 6.2.1 update.zip but after I installed it I am stuck at the notorious "Your Kindle has detected a problem" screen and I can't get past it. I've tried KFU to boot into normal mode or even fastboot but I am stuck with the <waiting for device> message. I looked into it more and found this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414832

However, I can't get past the first command because I get this message:

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory (2)

So I can't get anywhere without an error or waiting for device message, am I screwed or is there a way to fix this? ADB is working from what I can tell because reboot and similar commands work just fine, I think the partition just needs to be fixed. However when I click on Kindle properties in Device Manager I get this:

Please help me guys, I don't want to have to send this thing back or have to get a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
I think you're screwed. Same thing happened to me. Had to send it back

Can you explain how you did that?

The problem is that I can't get FFF or TWRP installed since I did a fresh install of 6.2.1.
[Kindle Fire General] Matt V:
Well nevermind guys I'm not gonna even bother with this. I contacted Amazon and I'm getting a new KF sent here in 2 days.
[Kindle Fire General] ScaryJuice:
I also have a similar problem. I used TWRP to wipe everything and reflash the stock 6.2.1. Now I get the "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory (2)" error. Everything I've found to fix the problem requires the shell and I can't use it. The Kindle never mounts in Windows either.
[Kindle Fire General] Matt V:
Those are the exact same issues I'm having. Oh well, I'm getting a new one and won't be messing with partitioning anymore.
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
The problem here is that you screwed your kindle and instead of doing the work to unscrew yourself you are sending it back to Amazon. All your doing is giving Amazon more reason to lock us out of the Kindle. They don't want to be taking back equipment that you ruined.

It's because of this kind of stuff that we are constantly fighting to get root on our devices. If you root your device and soft brick it you shouldn't send it back to the manufacturer. Do us all a favor and when you get your new KF, do not root it.
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
This is why company's hate root. If you cant take the time to fix your kindle after you f*** something up then don't root it.

edit: haha same post above me
[Kindle Fire General] Matt V:
I like how you guys say that when there is no real solution to solve this problem.

I got my new KF a day early. I sure won't be messing with partitioning again.
[Kindle Fire General] yayyo24:
how do you partition by hand
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
There is a way, people have come back from completely wiping out the partition table on their kindle, I just can't find the post on how they did it. If you look in the custom kernel thread awhile back, the kernel had a glitch and caused some kindles to wipe out all partitions. So you can come back from it, just it hasn't happened to many people.

Edit: I believe you could have made it back using some form of this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388996&highlight=partition , but I'm not well versed enough in doing all this crap.

Edit again: If theres no real solution then you should be SOL, its not amazons fault you messed something up so badly on your kindle its unrecoverable. So yes, I will say that even if there is no solution.
[Kindle Fire General] Phocas:
Wow, you suck at life. Thanks for being part of the reason people want to stop us rooting. You have no idea what you are doing so you send it back and make amazon eat it. You didn't even try to fix it.
